Well known for its use in exquisite cabinetry and fine furniture, American Cherry is a beautiful and durable flooring choice. This luxurious wood actually darkens with age and fits virtually any décor. Its colors range from gorgeous light red tones, with subtle graining, to a richer red that deepens with the years. One look and you?ll agree; it gives any room unrivaled elegance and grace. This product is proudly finished in the USA.

About "Natural Grade" Flooring:Natural Grade flooring has some color variation, mineral coloring and small knots. It can also be referred to as #2 or Third Grade. Natural grade flooring will have a slightly longer average plank length compared to Rustic grade products.

Just Install and Enjoy. Each Bellawood floor comes with our exclusive 100 year, UV-cured micro-particle finish already applied. That way you save time and avoid the mess of sanding and finishing after installation. So just install, sit back, relax and enjoy. You've got a Bellawood floor.

We caught up with real Lumber Liquidators' customers who volunteered to discuss their floor shopping, buying and installation experiences. In no way did these customers receive compensation for their kind words. (They're speaking straight from the heart.)

The floor looks great with cherry or rosewood furniture, but is far too soft to be practical. We installed it in the media room and master bedroom. We are mature adults, with no children, and of average size (I am by far the heavier, at 5' 10" tall and 165 pounds). We tend to wear leather or rubber soled shoes, no spike heels. Almost anything dropped will leave a dent. For example, if a crystal salt shaker were to fall off a table, it would leave a very noticeable dent. The installers had to come back and replace boards that had tool marks on them, from installation. Knocking the board into place can mar it. When they set a plasma screen down on top of cardboard, it dented the floor underneath. Also, it is extremely light sensitive, and will darken quickly, except where it is covered by a chair leg or a bed.Bottom Line: It is best used in a room that will be photographed and admired, but never occupied.

Somewhat disappointed, purchased 800 sqft of flooring ended up with three different run dates before the contractor discovered the floor was 2/3 complete. There are some boards that are thinner as the rest and it visually and physically detectable. The contractor returned 13 boxes of the flooring for the same run date and the same run date floor looks outstanding. I would highly recommend the store ask if the flooring is for one room to ensure they provide the same run date.

Beautiful wood and easy to install but would not recommend for a house with children or pets. This wood dents and scratches very easy. It is a VERY soft wood. If I had to do it all over I would choose something more durable. My 2 yr old son dropped a matchbox car and it dented the floor. After one year instead of a beautiful floor, I have a floor full of dents and stratches.

We can only recommend our Bellawood Floor Cleaner, or cleaners that are safe for water based urethane finishes. Never use any polish, wax, oil soaps or cleaners that add shine to the floor. In addition, we do not recommend using steamers or wet-jet cleaning systems for hardwood because spraying can collect moisture in between board edges. The use of these products is at your own risk.Our Bellawood floor cleaner does not contain any polishes ,wax or anything that will build on the surface and is recommended to be used on all our flooring products. I do hear of this scenario often enough and it always prooves out that there was another cleaning product used previously on the floor that is reacting to the Bellawood cleaner. Most likely once the residue is removed from the original factory finish the floor can be maintained easily. Thank you for your inquiry.

Q:

What is the weight-per-box of this flooring? We've got some on order and I'm just planning how to unload the truck.
